Wednesday, December 31, 2008. Not here in the Land of Lincoln. Pat Quinn tees of on Governor Sound Byte's announcement appointing Roland Burris to President-elect Obama's vacant Senate seat. The longer this drags out, however, the more I worry about politics in general in Illinois:. Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News. And News about the Economy. Friday, December 26, 2008. Our Dumb Winter Continues. Thursday, December 25, 2008. Better Late Than Never. Leadbelly - "On A Christmas Day". Big Joe Turner - "Chr...

Bridgeport Seasoning: June 2009

http://bridgeportseasoning.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, June 18, 2009. The Rise of a Dirty Old Man. I've only been half-joking when I tell people that I seem to have reawakened my kavorka. In the past year or so. I was with my old friend Chris Hyatt, who invited a bunch of people out to the Bank of America cinema at Six Corners to see a Roger Corman movie starring Ray Milland and Don Rickles. That was totally worth the five bucks. I think she's into you, Chuck," Hyatt said. I managed to catch the train home and sent Hyatt the e-mail address of a pho...

Bridgeport Seasoning: July 2014

http://bridgeportseasoning.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, July 22, 2014. One of the reasons I stopped reading stories on stage a long time ago (and updating this blog) was because I wanted to focus on making Chicagoist the best site I could. Now that there's plenty of help in that regard I've been encouraged by a few people to step in front of a mic again. I read this Sunday night at the wonderful That's All She Wrote. Like many professional writers I began as a freelancer and one thing I discovered immediately was the compensation is not. 8221; Mel sa...

Bridgeport Seasoning: March 2015

http://bridgeportseasoning.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 11, 2015. It's a Brand New Day. Let me address the elephant in the room. I was relieved of my duties as editor-in-chief of Chicagoist Tuesday. The site will “go in a different direction” as Gothamist executive editor Jen Chung said when we met. Please do keep in touch. Their hands off approach. What those adventures entail, I’m not sure. I know I have options, tons of marketable skills way more important than having a degree and have spent most of today reaching out to professi...All I e...

Bridgeport Seasoning: April 2015

http://bridgeportseasoning.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 17, 2015. The Distance You Can Travel. The Chicago skyline, as viewed from Rainbow Beach, March 2015. Good Morning from the wunnerful Bridgeport area, where I smell like an impulsive trip to Lem's BBQ after an evening of storytelling in Morgan Park. I was one of five invited to kick off a new live lit series called " The Frunchroom. Organized by the Beverly Area Arts Alliance. And my good friend Scott Smith. And the place was packed! What's surprised me most is how . mature. He flicked the ...

Bridgeport Seasoning: January 2015

http://bridgeportseasoning.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, January 25, 2015. Progress, Not Perfection. Two days later my doctor called me with the results of my blood work. "You have Type II diabetes," she said, matter-of-factly. Not, "you're at risk for Type II diabetes." "You have. Type II diabetes.". Don't go looking online for information. There's a lot of misinformation out there," she instructed me while I was already researching the American Diabetes Association's website. The silver lining with my diagnosis was my weight was lower than I expected...

Bridgeport Seasoning: September 2009

http://bridgeportseasoning.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Monday, September 21, 2009. Originally uploaded by bridgeportseasoning. Yesterday I dragged Kevin, our political writer from Chicagoist, down to St. Anne, Illinois, just east of Kankakee. I had reserved seats for the Local Beet's. Farm dinner at Genesis Growers, an organic farm in St. Anne. I'm thinking about finally diving in and making pumpkin beer with some of the meat.

Bridgeport Seasoning: April 2009

http://bridgeportseasoning.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 12, 2009. The story of Jesus, as told by Sam Kinison. Enjoy your ham or, in my case, White Castles. Saturday, April 11, 2009. Time Adds Sepia To All Memories. L-R: Uncle Red, Mom, Uncle Stu, Aunt Arlene, Aunt Debbie. Been a while since I've been around. I decided that some things I wanted to write about required discretion, lest some haters decide to hate. Maybe next time. Anyway, last week I had to pass off some prized tickets to the Numero Group's Eccentric Soul Revue to Marcus. Part of m...

Bridgeport Seasoning: March 2009

http://bridgeportseasoning.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 15, 2009. A Bloodstream Like Petroleum Sludge. Been weaning myself away from meat in recent weeks, in preparation for finally saddling back up full time for a bicycle commute. Then I willingly and gladly slid back to the Greek combo plate and saganaki at Central Gyros, followed by brunch at the Publican today (if you missed the live twitter stream of both Paul Kahan and Ellen Malloy. Congratulations to Scott and Art. You both know why. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
